The headlight on the motorcycle is not fit for night riding. The factory setting provides an OK low beam, however, the high beam is pointed at the clouds. Adjusting the light to bring the high beam down to an acceptable level points the low beam so low that you can only see 10 feet in front of you. The options are driving blind or blinding others; neither is safe.
